In the end, this was more an old-school detective thriller than anything, and it delivers a strong conclusion. Read Full Review

The Joker finale achieves what it intends to do, setting up the characters for the next phase of their lives as well as putting a bow on the storyline that has been rolling for the past 15 issues. As for whether it does so successfully, it's a mixed bag with some highlights and a lot of exposition. Read Full Review

The Joker #15 wraps everything up in a neat bow, and in the process, provides a fitting end to Jim Gordon's hard-boiled detective narrative. Read Full Review

The Joker #15 finally concludes the globetrotting game of cat and mouse between Jim Gordon and The Joker. The resolutions in the comic are quick & predictable as it wraps up as much as it can while leaving a few doors open for a few characters. Jim gets his conclusion, which may prove dissatisfying to some fans of the character, but it at least puts him in a better place than where he began when the series started. Read Full Review

The artwork here remains beyond solid and while the series wasn't able to end as strongly as it began, it definitely is a worthwhile series when it comes to a number of Gotham residents. Read Full Review

While this series for the most was pretty cool I can't say that we really needed this tacked-on finale issue because it ultimately didn't do much but give us some bread crumbs that some writers might continue with down the line...... or they might not. Really though, with the main Joker story and the Punchline back up it felt like more of a book that was simply here to remind people about what's been going on instead of doing something new.     Read Full Review

As a wrap up for this series, the issue has some highs and lows. What I liked most about it is the treatment of Jim Gordon. His character arc feels like it finally reaches its conclusion here as he has the final opportunity to choose not only what to do with Joker, but what to do after. The rest of the threads of the plot are tied up neatly, if a little quickly. I'm honestly not sure if I'll ever return to this series now that it's over, but it was certainly a roller coaster while it lasted. Read Full Review

A terrific ending to a terrific series. I really enjoyed the entire volume and see myself rereading it many times in the future.

I picked this up recently. I had stopped reading this after #5 but decided to give this another go.

And I enjoyed it. This was much better than Tynion's Batman.

It's not perfect. But it's enjoyable read that had pretty good art with it.

But the Punchline story? Instant skip, I just don't care.

A pretty solid series all around. Might need to reread this to fully get the whole picture

Ok close to a interesting series. I never expected a joker series to be a Jim Gordon detective series, but I really enjoyed these 15 issues, and I hope the ending teases a future Jim Gordon/ bullock PI book. Like a Sam and twitch of the dc universe type of book. That could be a lot of fun.

An incredibly wordy conclusion, yet still entertained in its noirish roots. Other than that, it was okay. And this is only for the main storyline as I don't care enough to read about Punchline in jail for fifteen issues straight.

A bland, boring ending to a series that started so strong. I am glad it's done. I hope Rosenberg does something interesting.

about as good as an ending one can hope for

Wordy ending to a series that just lost steam. This issue could have been done without. Overall I’d give the series as a whole a C+. There are some great moments but by the end they are far and few between. The biggest crux I have with the whole story is the meta points that become Jim’s voice. It literally sounds like the writer of this opus then Jim Gordon and it pulls me away from the story to ponder absurdity in DC comics decisions and age old comic writers.
